Usage

Here's the entire API:

List<BasicNameValuePair> extraHeaders = Arrays.asList(
    new BasicNameValuePair("Cookie", "session=abcd");
);

WebSocketClient client = new WebSocketClient(URI.create("wss://irccloud.com"), new WebSocketClient.Listener() {
    @Override
    public void onConnect() {
        Log.d(TAG, "Connected!");
    }

    @Override
    public void onMessage(String message) {
        Log.d(TAG, String.format("Got string message! %s", message));
    }

    @Override
    public void onMessage(byte[] data) {
        Log.d(TAG, String.format("Got binary message! %s", toHexString(data));
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisconnect(int code, String reason) {
        Log.d(TAG, String.format("Disconnected! Code: %d Reason: %s", code, reason));
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(Exception error) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Error!", error);
    }
}, extraHeaders);

client.connect();

// Later… 
client.send("hello!");
client.send(new byte[] { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF });
client.disconnect();
